I couldn't believe that I was actually flying! It was amazing to be up in the air like that, and to be so high. All you had to do was not look down and you would be fine. So I avoided to look down.

The person that had saved me was Iggy, and he was the guy from one of the pictures. He was able to tell me about every person in them, even down to the little black fur-ball! The little girl was Angel, and the blond boy was her brother, his name was Gazzy. I didn't dare ask why. The girl with dark skin was named Nudge, and the black fur-ball was a talking dog named Total. The dark haired boy was Fang. He told me that I have a mom, dad, sister, and brother. It sounded like I had a happy little family back home.

I still hadn't talked. I didn't know what it would sound like...or how. He would ask me questions and I would either shake my head, nod, or shrug. I think it annoyied him that I didn't talk, but I could be sure.

We landed in a park that was just outside a town. I could hear strange buzzing nosies, not like bees, but something else. When we walked out of the park I finally saw what they were.

"Those are cars." Iggy told me when he saw the look of wonder on my face. "People drive in them...Unless you're cool and have wings like us." He gave me a half smile.

I looked at the cars in wonder. They were all moving so fast, they were almost all just a blur. When a light above changed red all of the cars stopped, while different cars went. It was so cool! I took my chance and took a good look at them. They where all different colors; some where red, some blue, some green, almost any color I could think of. They where a type of metal and they all had a set of wheels in the front and the back.

Iggy sighed and grabbed my hand. We walked down the street to the payphone. That was a different thing too. It was black and a long silver cord attached to a little blue box. It had sliver buttons with numbers on them too.

He picked it up and put in a few coins.

"Dr. Martinez's number was 452-9102 right?" He asked me. I just shrugged. (See, I made up my own number for her! HA HA!!)

He sighed and dialed the number.

Everyone was asleep and Dr. Martinez was grateful to have a while to herself. She hadn't had time for herself in three days, and she was beginning to miss it. Not that she didn't like having the flock there, but it was nice to have some alone time.

The phone rang and she groaned. There goes my me time. She thought, trudging over to the phone.

"Valencia Martinez." She answered wearily.

"Hi, it's Iggy." Iggy's voice informed her.

"Iggy?! HI! Where are you? Do you realize that we are all here without you? Well, minus Fang and Max." She nearly babbled. When ever she got excited she tended to babble. An annoying, yet forceful habit.

She heard him sigh. "I know. I got caught up. And Max is with me." He informed her. "What happened to Fang?" He asked next.

Dr. Martinez sat quietly for a minute, baffled by what he said. "Max is- Max is with you? You have her body, you mean?" She finally said, stumbling on words.

"What do you mean Max's body? She's all in one piece." Iggy asked with surprise in his voice.

"But- Fang...And the flock...They said that she was dead." Her voice broke on dead.

"She looks pretty alive to me right now." Iggy said. "She's messing with a quarter."

Dr. Martinez didn't believe it. Was it scientifically possible that someone could come back to life? Not even the bible said that someone could come back to life; not unless you counted Jesus, who came back as a spirit.

"Let me talk to her." Dr. Martinez commanded.

Iggy hesitated. "She can't." He told her.

"Why not? Is a quarter more important then her mother?" She question him.

"No, you don't understand. She can't talk." Iggy informed her.

"I think-" He began, "I think she has amnesia."

Dr. Martinez froze. "What? Why?" She managed to say.

"I don't know."

"Okay, where are you?" She asked him.

"Phoenix"

She nodded, even though she knew Iggy couldn't see her. "Okay. I'll come pick you up. Go get a room in a hotel, and I'll find you." She told him.
